Yes, it’s subjective to some extent, hence why I asked in what way is it easier beside you just saying that it is? I left out “to you” but I thought the HN community was a bit smarter than that. Even if you had said “it’s easier to me. Full stop,” I still would have written the same reply...

All you said was “it’s easier” in your original point. You obviously felt the need to clarify yourself in your most recent comment. So clearly your first comment was lacking information. There was no reason to downvote me just because you felt my original comment made you look stupid.

FWIW, even though “easy” is subjective, there’s still a consensus to be considered. For example, finding piercing your skin with a needle to be an asthetically-pleasing act does not fit that consensus...

Something that _does_ fit the consensus is that taking a pill every day is a hassle.

Stop being facetious just to prove a point.

That doesn't scale. If you push the cost of healthcare to other countries when it becomes too expensive instead of fixing the system in the country where you live then every other country with a better system's healthcare will collapse as well.

Vote to improve the system where you live and make sure that your representatives realize that it could be them or their relatives in your situation.

Quite a few countries have restrictions in this anyway, so whether it would even work in individual cases is another matter, for instance, here is Canada's provision:

I don't agree with everything in this article (I don't disagree with everything either), but that being said, I liked the following quoted text:

>"By the mid 2000s there was also an extensive body of work on the biology behind the gene’s function and malfunction. And all of this was part of a much wider field of research called candidate gene association studies, a methodology that enjoyed massive media exposure from the early 90s to the late 2000s as biologists identified the genes they claimed were responsible for obesity, mental illness, diabetes, addiction, gambling, cancer, crime, and numerous other behavioural disorders and diseases.

This was a golden age for high-profile genetics research. Almost every week brought another announcement that a candidate gene for some social problem or illness had been found. And, these announcements concluded, now that the gene causing the problem was known and the biological nature of the malady identified, a cure was surely close. Grants were funded and biotech companies were launched, billions of dollars were invested and exciting new technologies were trialed, all based on candidate gene discoveries.

And none of them worked because all of this was bullshit."
Fair point re: complexity but how are CVEs in one codebase evidence of absence of bugs in another?

Or said another way, is the lack of CVEs for doas an indication it is more secure or just less (ab?)used?

You're correct as to why they exist, but then it turns out that this is a privacy leak. Software is hard.
My response was to someone considering the ultimate tier. I'd recommend they keep an eye on the premium (silver) tier for the functionality they want which may at some point become available.

Premium was an easy sell for us as we were able to eliminate other subscriptions. Ultimate does not have features we'd be willing to pay an extra $80 per user per month for.

hey man, that's great and i'm happy you're healthier because of advertising. My experience has been the opposite (yes, advertising making me and my family UNhealthier -- mentally and emotionally). I don't want targeted ads, but I can understand that you do.

Perhaps there is a way we can both enjoy the internet in our preferred ways. Perhaps not, I don't know.
That is frighteningly easy to picture mentally.
Thanks. I've already read that ;) But let me say this. About 10 to 15 years ago I've been more interested in transmission lines because of "Energiewende" and such, came across HVDC, how that would enable smart grids, possibly protection against solar/geomagnetic storms because of faster switching times, and so on. I looked into how they built those HVDC-lines in China, how that is not new at all, but eased by modern solid-state power semiconductors, and so on.
And looked further into patents, modulation schemes, even many 'papers'(pdf) and also very technical books(skimmed those only).

Anyway, what I learned was that the grid has many very nonlinear phenomena which are extremely hard to model and predict, because of the dynamics. Much more complicated than the simplistic answers some here have given you. So...relax?

There’s two holes: places you can draw a non-contractile circle, which can’t be turned into each other — “circumference” and “around”.

I think they mean the “around” holes have a center “inside” the donut.
I had hoped at some point in the breakdown that they differentiated between Wordpress and.. everything else I guess.

Wordpress itself probably skewed the numbers significantly.

Very unlikely. All oil companies see the writing on the wall for gasoline powered daily consumer vehicles especially in urbanized areas and that electric vehicles sometime over next 5 to 10 years will tip over as significantly more economically viable. So everyone is trying something or the other to get ahead of the trend. Eg middle east and norway, are trying to funnel their oil money into diversified holdings. Makes sense Shell will too
I love GitLab. It has really won me over versus GitHub over the past couple of years. I've found it to be much more suited to enterprise use.

That said, they really need to work on the pricing model. We have 1,000 potential users. But only 300 of them would really use all of the features. It is a tough sell to pay equally for all of them.

I'd really love to use some of the features of ultimate, but the pricing model makes it a complete non-starter. It is an order of magnitude more expensive than the hodgepodge of tools it would replace if we have to pay ~100k a month for it. Our account exec has offered to talk about discounts and stuff, but it is just too far out there and too much risk since the lock-in would be so high.
On the keyboard matter: I got a laptop based on the Clevo W550SU-1 in mid-2014 (not from System76, but the same hardware platform); its keyboard was fair when new, decidedly spongy after one year, and very terrible after two (if typing casually, about a third of the time Space wouldn’t activate, and a few of the most regularly-used letters would sometimes not activate either—the workaround is to press the keys more deliberately). I certainly hope they’ve completely redone the keyboards mechanism since then.
For long trips it is definitely inconvenient, but if you have a charger at home it is much more convenient than filling up a tank.

This outputs static HTML that gets hydrated on the client (as opposed to server rendering the HTML and then hydrating it on the client), which I don’t think what was being asked.

I think what the OP was asking was more along the lines of partial hydration (where only parts of the DOM are hydrated by React/other framework) or no hydration (no JavaScript is loaded at all).

11ty does the latter: https://www.11ty.dev

The React team are working on partial hydration and announced it in December. Vercel did a write up on it here: https://vercel.com/blog/everything-about-react-server-compon...
How do you even describe what a job queue does in once sentence? I don't think your standard is possible for most unix commands, let alone most software.

Exactly. They are spinning the story to the point of being misleading. They wanted an up front payment to purchase exclusive streaming rights. No one jumped at that. However these companies are still willing to host this movie on a revenue share model that comes with digital rentals/purchases. That is a big indicator the motivating factor was cost and not the danger of the content itself.

Sure! Those are actually great questions!

Regarding monetization, you can see more details here: https://airbyte.io/pricing
We consider 2 monetization approaches:
Open core (connectors staying open-source forever) with premium features as: hosting & management (cloud-based control panel without access to your data plan), and enterprise features (privacy compliance, SSO, user access management, etc)
What we call “Powered by Airbyte” where we enable you to offer integrations to your own customers using our API

Regarding our runway, with the team as is, mid 2025. We intend to grow the team though, given the adoption growth we have. We’ve already been approached for a Series-A, but will consider it in mid 2022.

Regarding self-sustainability, do you mean financially? Possibly at the end of 2023 or 2024.

How does that sound to you? Genuinely curious.
I think it's a pun on the `sudoedit` utility used in one of the exploit paths.
The point is it's not as trivial as you say, and there's more to safety than pure input validation.

So different website features per country? Or do you mean regulation decides how a browser implements it? Either way I don't see how that would ever work.
I've seen comments about the supposed "information firewall" a couple of times in various threads related to the GME WSB fiasco across a few different websites.

I am not a financial professional, but I am not stupid.

Anyone who believes that 1. this firewall exists, 2. is up to snuff (ie. working like it should), and 3. is not being constantly undermined formally or informally is sorely mistaken.
This is pretty neat. I've got an entry on their from 2008:

> When a register contains illegal bytes, writing viminfo in utf-8 and reading it back doesn't result in utf-8. (Devin Bayer)
Exactly agreed. It's not so much what you've printed, it's that it changes your mindset to one where you realize that annoyances you wouldn't have thought twice about are now actually easily solvable.

Before, the charger cables would roll off my desk, and I'd think "damn cables". Now I think "I can design and print something in 5 minutes that will solve this problem exactly". For many, many problems.
> By the same logic: font size affects number of bugs.

Yes it does.

> Our memory works in terms of concepts, not letters; the reason a 7 word passphrase is almost as easy to remember as a 7 character password

And yet we write things down because our memory is limited, and the notation we choose strikes a balance between packing meaning into glyph, and the speed at which your thoughts can translate into the mark, so you really have this exactly backwards: You have to memorize less if you can see more of it.

> It was definitely not the biggest impact to productivity

"The quality of the software is rarely the biggest impact on a business", is perhaps the most depressing thing I've ever heard anyone say about their job.

I'd like to think that my work is a bit more important than that, and worth any expense to make me more productive at it.

> And I wouldn't believe you can "learn" this mapping.

It sounds like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you wouldn't believe a lot.

Exactly the kind of effect Facebook is selling, though not always firearm-related, of course.

The perfect advertising machine is a mind-control machine. It makes you want things you didn't want before with 100% effectiveness.

To the extent thay Facebook spends billions a year on building such a machine, we should believe that they have seen some success beyond a traditional advertising channel (such as TV ads).
Occam's razor is a guide to start with the simpler explanation. If the simpler explanation is not sufficient, you add more elements until it is.

My point is, the Internet rerouting around damage doesn't explain the slowdown, mostly because it happened days after, not immediately, meaning the damaged infrastructure was not critical for the global internet.

The attacks unleashed a huge intelligence operation, and it's reasonable to expect a parallel intelligence operation online. If the latter caused a traffic bottleneck or not, we can't know because it was never addressed, it's speculation on my part.

With jQuery (as an example) when you change elements it does so on the live DOM. This often causes the browser to re-layout, re-render, and re-draw content. If you create a thousand elements in a loop that's tons of extra work for the browser and blocks interactivity. You can do batch updates or non-display elements but it's not (or at least wasn't) built into jQuery. It's faster but more complicated.

With React and the like they operate on a copy of the DOM and automatically batch updates to it. All of the changes are applied at once so there's fewer layout, render, and draw events.

Part of the problem with jQuery is there's a cohort of web "developers" that grew up with it. Instead of learning the actual web stack they learned jQuery. Everything is put together (slowly) with jQuery. Even if they've been promoted out of junior positions they're not PMs or marketing drones requiring slow scripts because they're written in a style they understand.
If, as a company, you have the option of charging $X if you accept gov’t funding or 400% * $X, doesn’t that sound like a great way to disincentivized taking govt funding?

And as others have said gov’t funding tends to be a small fraction of total cost of R&D.

And the funding tends to come very early - some professor is researching a new anti-viral and stumbles across a new molecule. It’s still several hundred million and a decade or more away from market.
If you go a little further with the quote:

"Yes, it would still be vulnerable to logic errors... But it wouldn't be vulnerable to this. "

I think you'll find in disagreeing with the comment on logic errors you just said the same thing the comment did about logic errors.

Also I think the generalization that rewriting an established bit of code in a new language in a secure language is a bit too general. clearly Firefox not only set out to make Rust for this purpose but it's not had an explosion in vulnerabilities with the modules it has replaced. Quite the opposite actually. Nor has every tool or app rewritten become a security failure compared to the original. I do think it's something that can easily be screwed up though, especially if someone rushes through by focusing on functionality duplication instead of building a more secure version of something.

Regardless, both "using a memory safe language results in a more safe program" and "having a minimum attack sufrace results in a more safe program" can be true. There is no need to make it a choice of A or B.

Such an outcome is clearly possible. It is unclear whether or not it is efficient.

This situation has shorts identify a probably-failing company and set the stage for traders to (possibly) detonate a GameStop/Hertz cash-bomb. It yields a transfer of cash from "greater-fools" to a probably-failing company.

As a value-investor, it seems to me that occasionally raining cash upon failing companies seems like a strategy with a below-average probability of long-term success. Extracting that cash from unsophisticated investors seems to risk moral hazard -- the school of hard knocks is expensive and bruising.

Someone, somewhere, should be able to profit from blunting these explosions. Why aren't options prices increasing to make this effect unlikely? Surely there are options-traders who are incurring losses as they expand their hedges.
> And believe it or not, if I understand correctly these services (FB, Twitter) have an ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) of just $5-8 per year.

The problem is that they are making the bulk of their money from the top tier of their users (which is a really tiny percentage); and the rest is not monetize-able. If your are making $80-100 from your top guys (who will probably, gladly, pay $5/month subscription), you still come short. And the mass that makes you $0/year is not going to pay at any price, anyway. They are just there to keep the higher value audience.
